A Levittown teen is accused of pulling a false fire alarm at Nassau County Supreme Court and then biting a detective during his arrest in Mineola, police announced on Friday, Aug. 29.

Detectives said Connor McCoy, 19, intentionally activated a fire alarm inside the courthouse at 100 Supreme Court Drive around 11:33 a.m., on Thursday, Aug. 28, forcing an evacuation of the building.

Investigators later identified McCoy as the suspect and went to his home on Water Lane North, where he allegedly became violent and combative. During the struggle, police said he bit a detective on the right forearm.

The detective was treated at a local hospital for his injuries.

McCoy was charged with Falsely Reporting an Incident in the First Degree, Assault in the Second Degree, and Resisting Arrest, according to police.

His preliminary arraignment is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 29 at First District Court in Mineola.
